Former Australia speedster Brett Lee would love to see India and Pakistan clashing in a Twenty20 World Cup blockbuster on February 15 but Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has stood by their "appropriate" decision to boycott the match in Colombo, Reuters reported. 

The Pakistan government on Sunday cleared the team's trip to Sri Lanka for the World Cup but announced boycotting the group stage game against arch-rivals and tournament co-host India, which robbed the 20-team tournament of its most sought-after match.

"Let’s get the politics out of it," Lee, who ended his 13-year international career in 2012, said in 'Mr. Cricket UAE' podcast, according to Reuters.
